So far I find it quite better, coming from a N1. I can definately hear the other side a lot clearer, and have been told I sound better
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neotekz:
and is there any issues with the death grip?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hibanzai:
Few... so Motorola is still making phones with good reception and call quality. Like nokia's. The minimum a phone should do, what most phone makers seem to forget these days.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] termleech:
The problem with using the number of bars to compare signal strength between different phones is the algorithm used to determine the number of bars is not universal across phones. You really need another measure such as signal to noise or something like that. The bars are a logrithmic scale but not universal across phones. There was a great article on this when apple changed the way IOS determined the number of bars for strength. I will try and find the article and post it here.

Signal is great! Much better than iPhonelol.
[Optimus 7 General] balenax:
hi there.

i just got an LG optimus 7 and all seemed fine untill i needed to make a phone call. I couldn't hear anything and the guy I wanted to talk to didnt hear me either. But as soon as i turned on the speaker mode during call, all went fine, i could hear and i was heard. Disabling speaker mode gave me the same result : no hear no heard.... Any ideas ? I made a factory reset ( vol + vol - camera buttnon then press power) and still the same problem...

Phone was bought from abroad and warranty is pretty useless here...

thanks

LE : flashed the open european fw, the orange uk fw .. same results... I'm thining this is a sowftware ( settings ) problem, since both speaker and microphone are working ( theres one speaker and one mic as we all know) , and maybe some MFG setting would bring some joy.. but i dont find any user service manual around...
[Optimus 7 General] plushack_lodz:
Try MFG sofftware (you should find how to install it in other posts). In MFG you should find menu with test many device components exmpl: camera, gps and others and speaker or mic. If it dosn't help I think you have a damage phone and you should contact with service support.
[G2 and Desire Z General] htczphone:
Yesterday I dropped some juice and in an attempt to be extra careful, I ended up being the opposite and my phone slipped into the juice where it had fell but only a bit of it.

The keyboard plastic did result in coming up which I put back, but the phone was actually working okay.

It was starting up car panel a number of times despite not even clicking on it and it not being on my home screens.

One problem that is continuous is that the screen auto rotates. I have not enabled this option but now it does it even though the box is unticked.

I have had it for a little over a month. Should I ask to get it replaced?
[G2 and Desire Z General] TJBunch1228:
Well the sugar and liquid are wreaking havoc to your phone's guts.... How is the water damage indicator under the battery?
[G2 and Desire Z General] htczphone:
I take back the comment about the car panel as it is on one of my home screens.

How do I check the water damage indicator? Sorry a bit of a novice here.
[G2 and Desire Z General] KiNG OMaR:
Under the battery, it's the tiny white dot! If it's not white then it's been tripped and that makes warranty replacement a ***** :mad:
[G2 and Desire Z General] htczphone:
I have to say again that the car panel actually is showing up even when I haven't gone to the app, at random times. Not sure why this happens.

The dot is still white.
[G2 and Desire Z General] TJBunch1228:
Well Pretty much guarantee that something got toasted. Which blows. You can try turning it off for a while and see if it kind of just sorts itself out...

Beyond that, even though the liquid damage indicator is not tripped, I bet if you sent it in for warranty they'd find damage in there and charge you the full price. Your best bet is to either do an insurance claim, or find a cheap replacement on CL.

Or if your phone mostly functions and the few glitches don't bug you, just use it as it.

EDIT: Or... the SUPER DUPER shady route is that you could sell/trade your phone on CL and if it's mostly functional they might not notice. I'd avoid that though, as karma is an evil, angry *****.

try taking a look at those buddie :)

you can get different launchers though, depends on what your preferences are :)

hope this helps matey
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martonikaj:
Here's mine. There are plenty of screen shots though. It just looks like any other gingerbread build on the home screen :)

This is with ADW launcher, I have since added the stock launcher so the 3 icons at the bottom are slightly different. This is how it comes out of the box, though.
[General Questions and Answers] crowley76:
Hello everybody,

new guy here.

Got a Motorola Milestone. I flashed it using RSD Lite 4.9 and SHOLS_U2_01.14.0_recovery_only.sbf.

Since then, I should have root. At least now I'm actually able to boot into recovery mode and start "apply update.zip" without running into a signature error.

But: I still have problems.

I've got AOR 3.3. I tried CM7 and FroyoMod 2.5. Both of them won't install.

When I now boot into recovery mode, I can still hit "sdcard:apply update.zip", but then the message comes:

"cannot find update binary"

Then it continues into the AOR menu. Not sure what to do then... I wiped everything. But when I go to Apply Update, there's nothing for me to select.

I tried two different paths:

First: /OpenRecovery/updates/

And there place the boot.img, the META-INF and system files.

Then: /OpenRecovery/updates/update-cm-7.0.0-RC2-0.07-11.02.23-Milestone-signed

and kept the files and directories as I found them in the zip file. Still, nothing.

Any hints, tipps or clues?

Nevermind, I found out that I wasn't supposed to unzip whatever I place in OpenRecovery/Updates...

Pro gives you weather animations..... does it animate on the home screen HTC sense esk or is it only when you click the weather icon?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] zolah:
Same as desire series.

Can enable it and disable it through the options.

It also has weather sounds now too.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] dizzle118:
So when it rains it animates on home screen? Without clicking the weather?

Do you get the wipers in the rain? :D:confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] AllGamer:
The PRO version is a paid app. No WAREZ allowed in XDA

if you want the PRO version buy it from Market, it's only $1.99

it's way worth the money
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] SirSimon:
Yeah, it does use the windscreen wipers from time to time. But I find it quite annoying that the weather animation after waking up out of standby is somewhat like a separate layer programme running on top of the home screen. If you want to access any icons on your screen, you have to click on the screen, which makes the weather animation stop. After that you can click a second time to finally start the programme you wanted to start.

But nevertheless the animation runs quite smooth and well animated.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] AllGamer:
if you go into settings, there is an option to not keep the animation running after waking up from iddle

so it runs the animation only once, and it goes away, instead of staying on top of the home screen
[General Accessories] surgeon:
Was just wondering if anybody know about a good shield for the HTC Hero (GSM version). I used to have the flexishield before, but the phone became too bulky for my liking though so I got rid of it. Now the paint has started coming off on the corners of the phone. So does anybody have a good shield, which is a bit thinner than the Flexishield?

Thanks
[General Accessories] surgeon:

So checked my bank account this morning and low and behold my money for the XOOM from Motorola went from pending back to my checking account. Checked my Motorola Amazon account shows nothing now....I think they cancelled my order of the XOOM and refunded back my money.

Anyone else notice this? I just returned my xoom to Costco yesterday too LOL!

Who said they were going to honor this?
[Xoom General] fetalp:
Alright checked store.motorola.com signed in again, now it shows the same setup as before...Shipped 24th blah blah, arrival date March 1st, or March 2nd. Charge of 641.00 and so forth. Not sure whats going on site shows still active, bank shows my money is back.:o
[Xoom General] El Daddy:
My bank account shows that too only because its been past 3 business days since the pre-auth. Its not canceled.

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] inasar:
I cant seem to find a ROM that updates.

Every ROM proceeds till the backup needs to be created and then it stays stuck at 0% and then the update process gives me an error.

I thought it must be because of cutom ROMs with Chevron hack built in but it happens with the original Cotulla release too.

Any ideas?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Omegavirus:
the 7008 update is useless at the moment.. wait for nodo builds.. ;)

but what causes the error would be good to know.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] dazza9075:
tis not ment for your phone, and since EVERY rom out there for WP7 on the HD2 is actually the same ROM they all share the same issues.

Wait my friend, likely you'll need to wait for nodo that will also not work in our device so a further wait until someone gets that bodged in to a ROM will be needed
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] inasar:
yeah you are right actually.

All custom ROMs must spring from the Cotulla release and since that one gives an error every one of the other must as well
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] dazza9075:
correct my friend!:)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Ulyaoth:
And, zune gives a registry error, obiously because the registry was tweaked to make it think it's an HD7. As much as they are alike and have the same specs, the hardware is completely different, so, you could do as much as brick your phone if you force an update. Although I'm not sure it would be bricked with the magldr in place........
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] inasar:
amen to that
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] TheOnly1:
Actually there is no more a registry error. Currently the 7008 update gives a timeout error. On anther note: During the update my PC installed drivers for a new device called LEO :D I guess this is where the problem really is :cool:
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] dazza9075:
i noticed that as well so obviously our device still contains something that links it to a leo...i wonder what happens if you stop that device from installing?

I been searching through the registery on my PC and its full of Leo traces from before....cant remove them as they are all protected, will need to do a safe mode and get rid of it that way
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] inasar:
Ok nothing like this happens in my case. However, i havent checked the registry recently so i dont know if there are orphan (or not) LEO traces there.

My phone is recognzed as an HD7, which is what the ROM chef intented i guess.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] abq1230:
We al have to:

Work with the update files and cook them in a rom.

Wait a lot until someone release a rom with the update.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] dazza9075:
oh indeed, this is a much more sensable solution but it is curious that when trying to update Zune detects the phone as a HD2 and installes a LEO device driver for it, even though the phone is still listed and displayed as connected as an windows phone 7 deviec

very curious indeed
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] jianototi:
did someone thought in the bootloader ?!?!if it's behind the Leo issue after the restart...
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] inasar:
I am guessing that the bootloader is not the one at fault here. I think it could be the USB driver. We are using legacy USB drivers in the ROM that have been ported from windows mobile 6.5

That could be the reason the computer installs the device as a LEO
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] david.jedla:
Hello :confused:

I find a problem.. I wanted to flash my shipped rom with some 6.5 rom. I unlocked spl a flashed newer radio and something went wrong. Everything seems to be ok but 3G networks/HSDPA doesnt. I have 3G icon, network setting is ok but speed is so slow. (like GPRS).

Does someone know where is a problem? i tried different roms, radios and spl a so much combinations but nothing ..

please help me and i would like to epologize for my bad english :) thank you!

Spirit303

my rom is 1.93 WWE shipped, spl 1.4 security unlocked, radio 1.00.25.5
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] grandma90:
It`s not advised to flash a new radio on your headset. Not to mention a new OS!

Try getting the las radio version on this forum.I did not encounter this issue , but try to F around the Settings a bit and see how it turns out.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] hfzarx:
what did you mean by unlocking the spl.......? did you flash it already with the hardspl....? well, i'm also a complete noob if compared to anyone around here;;just got myself a new Htc Diamond a couple of days ago.....but i've read the forum enough to realise that flashing a hard spl is the first thing to do if you're planning to F*** around with rom or radio flashing or anything else on ur diamond......sorry if it might sound like teaching you to suck eggs....and btw, i also faced the issues you've mentioned....3g internet slowdown..:yup, the icon is indicating H,i.e HSDPA yet the speed is soo rotten like the taste of those horrible days of GPRS.

and i solved it by flashing the latest radio available...cant really remember the version, but i'm sure you'll find it if you read the stickies....

currently running Donsalary's Sense 2.5 Lite Rom and pretty satisfied with the speed of connection and my device......hopefully you'll find the workaround for your issues
[Xoom General] FAUguy:
Sorry my new account will only let me post this in the general forum, but I was wondering if there is something similar to z4root in the works for the XOOM so it can be done in one step without all the manual command lines being entered.
[Xoom General] Bauxite:
The manual process is incredibly simple and almost foolproof... just copy and paste.

Why are people so afraid of the commandline. Here's a hint, typing someting on the command line is kind of like clicking, dragging and dropping, only in text. ;)
[Xoom General] generic.imitation:
check out the sticky in general, it has info on rooting. It is dead simple. If you have any questions on the process, just ask.

Why did you want to root the Xoom anyway? Currently everything that most people want to do sans overclocking is available without root. Wifi Tether is available right out of the box.

[Desire Accessories] salxtai:
Hey, I know that there's been some threads around but from searching through them it seems most haven't been commented on since last year, so I was hoping to see if there might be some change in opinions etc since then.

I'm in the process of buying a HTC Desire, and while I love the flexibility of Android, I can see myself getting annoyingly held back by low internal memory.

So my intended solution was to eventually root my phone when I have a spare moment, and flash the StarBurst ROM, since Data2SD seems to do a better job at forcing apps to install onto an SD card compared to App2SD (correct me if I'm wrong - newbie here) -- I know that I'd still have to install some widgets etc onto internal memory.

SO: my question is: What size of card would be good? And will I need to consider a Class 4 to be able to make use of Data2SD / App2SD functions?

There's an approximate $4-5 difference between a class 4 4GB + 8GB microSD card on eBay (and obviously, a class 2 of these two will be cheaper)

- I'm happy to pay for the larger card, provided that the extra 4GB are likely to be put to use (ie, I'm not entirely sure how much of a card I should reserve for apps to have room for a decent collection in the future)
[Desire Accessories] bart-n:
Hi!

I am using a 16GB class 4 from SanDisk. I have 15GB fat32 and a 1GB ext partition with Oxygen 2.0 and Data2SD. Absolutely no lags at all, just fine. Class 4 is good enough. You won't set the best result in benchmarks, but I personally don't care about benchmarks. As long as everything is going smooth i'm happy. :)

Size is a choice you have to make yourself. 1GB for apps is enough for me. Music and stuff on the fat32 partition. It depends on what you want. ;)

I hope this helps. :)
[Desire Accessories] kl_arnet:
1 gb for ext partition (data2sd) is more than enough and rest for fat32 (sd card) so size is really up to you but 4 gb wasn't enough for me. You should be more concerned with the card speed. Maybe instead, of ebay pay little a bit more and get the genuine fast card. I'm happy owner of a-data 16 gb class 10 working smoothly on StarBurst. Be careful of chinese fakes on ebay.

Swyped via StarBurst Desire.
[Desire Accessories] salxtai:
Yeah, I heard about eBay fakes along the way. This is the type of card I found through ebay SanDisk 4GB Class 4 (can't link directly due to being a newbie on here, unfortunately), it says its coming from US from a "dz-tech" seller.

- So if I need to stay away from eBay, should a google search along the lines of "8GB class 6 microSD" suffice for finding a reputable dealer?

Thanks for that :) what exactly do you mean by setting best results in benchmarks? I mean, I don't mind if the card doesn't score the highest in speed ratings, but I'm assuming that you're referring more to the fact that a class 4 is fast enough to let me run apps from the card through the phone smoothly?
[Desire Accessories] bart-n:
I mean that if you run a benchmark, you will probably get better results with cards that are rated with a higher class. So with a class 6 (or 8 or 10) you will get a better benchmark result. But, my point is, a class 4 card is good enough to use for data2sd and that stuff (as used in starburst rom) You don't need a very very fast card. Your phone will run smooth with an class 4 card, saw it with my own eyes. :)

Oh, I almost forgot: I think you should buy your card in a real (web)shop, not from ebay. No offense but if you buy on ebay you never know if you get a good card. Especially with this data2sd-thing it's important to have a good card. But that's just my point of view. :)

Anyway, good luck & have fun with your Desire :D
[Desire Accessories] skippy68220:
hello

Having tried different SD card. (class 4 to 6 - 10) for the data2sd or D2EXT, I still recommend a class 10.

but a little attention as stated above, there are many bad card cheap on Ebay. Prefer to buy a card at a site known or a shop.
[Desire Accessories] salxtai:
After a lot of heartache in actually getting the original Desire I bought (original sale is still being disputed in paypal), I ended up buying a 2nd one that had a 4GB Class 4 included with it. Win!

I got an unbranded one, so so far I haven't run out of room (its day 2, give me a week. haha), but its good to know its at least one less thing to worry about if I do go ahead with the ROM :)
[Desire Accessories] JDR0iD:
I understand where your coming from about Ebay with the dodgey chinese imports but take a look under the 16GB card on the accessories forum. I cant post a link because im still classed as a Noob lol

A comment the accessories forum on this SD was........

"I used h2test 1.4 with a micro sd adapter to test the speed with the test reading and writing 1GB of data

The test yielded results of 15.5 MB/s write and 16.8 MB/s read."

Ive ordered mine because the 720p is laggy when recording and i was a class 10 for best performance. and for £18 you cant go wrong for a 16GB class 10 Micro SD! Seriously i know where you coming from with Ebay but this is 100% genuine. Good cards and shipped from the UK!!!
[Desire Accessories] Borat38:
Wow, I thought Data2SD only worked with Sense ROMs (and not even all Sense ROMs). Oxygen 2.0 is AOSP right?
